From the Panoramic 1954-55
Gowns and unusually stern expressions from the Senior Management Team. They were really just holding themselves still while the camera panned around.

The male teachers had a very similar attire on that day. |

Great record of a great school. I cannot help but think that education is very much poorer for the dismembering of this education system.

Mr Hamilton (1967) at the end of his career as Headmaster of Hemsworth Grammar School.
Hello Dave,
I am just writing to congratulate you on the Hemsworth Grammar School site. I am researching my family tree and knew my great uncle, Russell Hamilton, was once headmaster of a school, but until recently did not know any more details. Through a genealogy website, I was able to get his teaching history and after doing a Google search on Hemsworth, was overjoyed at finding details and pictures of my great uncle. I did meet him but twice on visits to the UK in the late 1980’s and was struck by his warmth, kindness and intellect. To see photos of him as a young man and read about the school he spent so many of his years at brings tears to my eyes.
Congratulations on a wonderful site.
Regards
Lisa Smith
